Indiana state requirements are comprised of a few key points
listed below, which may determine claimant eligibility for
benefits.

The Indiana application follows certain
eligibility laws for benefits, including a reasoning for being
unemployed as qualifying determining factors.

Indiana Unemployment Rules

IN unemployed residents can collect
benefits on the basis of:

The amount of money earned during previous employment(s);
referred to as a "base period" of work. Applicants
are expected to earn a minimum of $2,750.00 in for a whole base
period (1 year) to qualify, or $1,650.00 in 6 months.

Reasoning for unemployment; applicants must be terminated from
employment through no fault of their own in order to qualify.

Availability to work; claimaints must be available
to work. Those who are not available to work for a period of time
due to injuries or illness still qualify, however benefits are
reduced by 1/3 of weekly benefit amounts.

Actively looking for new work; applicants must
be actively seeking full-time work, in addition to participating
in any job referrals made by the Indiana office. A
refusal to work is an immediate disqualifying factor.
